General description
Source:
The YUMM1.7 mouse melanoma cell line was derived from a 4-hydroxytamoxifen-induced melanoma tumor in a male C57/B1/6 mouse into which mutations from the Braf/Pten genetically-engineered mouse model had been introduced via backcrossing. The YUMM1.7 cell line harbors the Braf V600E mutation and is homozygous negative for wild-type Pten and Cdkn2 (1).

The great promise of immune-based therapies in cancer and recent progress in successful application of these approaches has brought to the fore the necessity of immune-competent models to evaluate immune system responses to cancer cells. Immunocompetent genetically-engineered mouse models harboring discrete genetic drivers of melanoma are essential for studying potential immunotherapies but are limited by the need to maintain colonies of multiple genotypes necessary to generate mouse models with appropriate genetic backgrounds.
The YUMM1.7 mouse melanoma cell line was developed as an immunocompetent cell line that recapitulates genetic drivers found in a significant proportion of human melanomas (1). YUMM1.7 cells are syngeneic with the immunocompetent C57/B1/6 mouse background and retain genetic markers of the Braf/Pten mouse model, characterized by activation of Braf and inactivation of Pten and Cdkn2a, in which melanoma tumors develop with short latency (2). YUMM1.7 cells are highly tumorigenic in vivo (1). The YUMM1.7 mouse melanoma cell line represents a valuable tool for tumor immunology and cancer biology, especially tractable for the evaluation and generation of new immunotherapies.
